From the moment floodwater damage occurs, the clock is ticking. Minute by minute, hour by hour, until qualified water damage personnel arrive and take control of the situation, everything gets steadily worse. That's why any reputable professional water damage recovery service operates on a 24/7/365 basis. There's no such thing as after hours or closed for the holiday. Rapid response is critical to any successful water damage and mold remediation process.
Here are some examples of how floodwater damage worsens as time passes.
During the First Hour:
- Water infiltrates deep into the structure.
- Carpeting and fabrics that have become wet stain other surfaces.
- Anything highly moisture-sensitive like home electronics, many appliances and even certain types of delicate wood flooring or furniture that have been contacted by water may already be a total loss.
- Wet books, photos and important papers will likely require timely professional restoration techniques to save them.
- Household electrical wiring and other electrical system components pose safety hazards.
During Day One:
- Wooden furniture in standing water begins swelling and is permanently deformed.
- Soaked building materials like wood and drywall swell.
- Pungent odor of moisture-activated bacteria pervades the house.
- Corrosion or rusting process begins on uncoated metal surfaces.
- In outdoor flooding, snakes and other wildlife may invade the premises.
During The First Week:
- Toxic mold growth activated by moisture begins.
- Waterlogged drywall and ceiling panels start disintegrating.
- Doors and windows swell and distort, becoming stuck in the closed position.
- Wooden structure components swell, warp and split, losing structural integrity.
- Indoor air quality may become unsafe to inhale without masks or other protection.
After one week, a flooded house is dangerous to enter for anyone other than trained water damage cleanup professionals with specialized equipment. Rampant mold growth, as well as other likely contaminants such as sewage, make the environment highly toxic. Deterioration of structural materials creates dangers of collapsing walls and ceilings. Standing water in a flooded basement may have permanently cracked the foundation. Costs of successful recovery increase dramatically.
